WTBTS has done there job to the fulliest!

by darth frosty in

okay now i will give you time to pick your jaw up off the floor while i explain what i mean.

i now belive that religion is just one of the many forms of control that the powers that be (hereafter refered to as 'tha man') use to control people and keep them under foot.

we know how the current administration uses the religious right to keep the electorate in line, but i also believe the wts serves tha man in the same way.

DannyBloem

quite right.

many of us came to this conclusion.

did not somebody say that religion is opium for the people.....

i stole this off someone's web page!

'I love Jehovah'! What is that supposed to mean?

by Gill in

i'd like someone to explain to me, why so many people come out with the phrase, 'i love jehovah'?.

what is it that they're meant to be loving?.

jehovah was a pretty nasty war god of the israelites.

I always felt terrible left out that I could not love somebody I did not understand and knew nothing about, and did not answer any of my questions.
Thought it was just me, that something was wrong with me...

Just what was Jesus doing until 1914?

by carla in

what do jw's think jesus was doing until 1914?

and if satan is ruling everything now, what is jesus doing now?

(in jw minds) it seems to me they believe the 'gates of hell' have prevailed.

sitting on his throne in his yvory tower, enjoying the sights of mankind. He watched how the plaque came and swept 1/3 of mankind, how the world wars went on. (he must have had a bet with his father on the winner, which he probably lost, cause his father never plays fair)
Watching earthquakes, tsunami's etc.
Probable get bored pretty soon and then.....

How rude of elders to come on New Years Day. Did they think they would get you having a hangover? I can hear them snickering as they walked up to your door. HL

ha ha, then they were too late. I had enough sleep, and had opened the windows already to get the alcohol smell out...

That's quite an honor! What happened? If you don't mind sharing...

Nothing too special. It was basically, "can you not turn in some more hours, it does not really matter how. Do you not talk to somebody about religion?"

me: yes I spend lot of time talking about the WTS (thinking: on JWD) I can count that if you like?

elders: okay.

We really are in need of brothers for more priveledges in the cong. Me: (I just got rid of a lot)

i always was fascinated with cars and driving.

when i was a child going to school, often i sat in the front seat, just to look at the bus driver change gears, press on the clutch and just by looking at the way he did it helped me when i drove my first manual transmission car.. here is a picture of my first car.

an old 1974 volks wagen beetle.

DannyBloem

Hi JH,

You americans are lucky when it comes to driving.
We are not allowed to take lessons until we are 18. And lessons only from schools, special cars etc. very expensive, easy 2000 $.

I was 20 my first lessons, 21 when i got my licences. Failed 2 times, which is about the avarage here

Is there Two Jehovahs? More than one "truth"?

by DavidChristopher in

i am relly confused.

one jehovah wants control over unquestioning, unreasoning, obedient, robots.

if they are god, i don't see how that would be a problem.

DannyBloem

Is there Two Jehovahs? More than one "truth"?

Ever seriously considered that there is maybe less then one?
How would the world look like if the FDSC would not be in contact with God? He, just like it is now.
How would the world and the bible look like it so? He,.....

As an active Witness how would you have responded to the following question

by Triple A in

.

as an active witness how would you have responded to the following question, if asked when you knock on someones door?.

how do you explain that since 1986 there has been less than 5% decrease in the annointed class?

DannyBloem

After the surprice of the question would be over, and thinking probably it would be a dféd person:

because some people make use of the symbols when they are not anointed, for prominense in the congregation or whatever. The number of whitnesses is increasing worldwide, so if there is a very small percentage of the people making use of the symbols for some other reason it would also increase. When you correct for this factor you see a shart descrease.
